In today’s world, sustainable living has become increasingly important, if not essential, so much so that we can’t sometimes help feeling a little guilty if we are not keeping this front of mind. With our increasingly busy lifestyles, If You Care’s range of products offer an easy way to swap into some more eco-friendly products. By using sustainable products, we can reduce our carbon footprint and create a healthier environment for ourselves and future generations.

One of the first steps towards a sustainable kitchen is investing in energy-efficient appliances, but it’s not just the rating of your oven that matters, it’s what you put inside it. When cooking your Sunday Roast, we recommend the Non-Stick Parchment Roasting Bags. Available in two sizes, these bags seal in the juices to create delicious, tender meat that will fall off the bone. Because the bags are 100% natural, gluten and allergen free they are a more sustainable option to plastic. If You Care don’t just bring the products…they bring the inspiration too! Out the library of delicious recipes on their website, from creative salad ideas to mouth-watering desserts (the Peanut Butter Brownie Bars are sensational!).

Minimising food waste is essential for a sustainable kitchen. By using sustainable storage options, you can reduce your contribution to landfill waste and take a step towards a more environmentally friendly kitchen. We love the Paper Snack & Sandwich Bags which are greaseproof and ideal for school lunches. They are greaseproof, so ideal for sandwiches with butter, spreads and mayonnaise and totally chlorine-free which means no chlorine derivatives find their way into our rivers, streams and lakes.

In any kitchen there is always cleaning to be done, If You Care has a range of waste bags and paper towels which reduce your kitchens carbon footprint but we have picked out the Automatic Dishwasher Tablets for the biggest benefits. These small (but mighty!) tablets contain a potent blend of mineral and plant-derived cleaning ingredients that leave your dishes sparkling. Biodegradable, non-toxic, phosphate and chlorine free, these smaller tablets contribute to a reduction in emissions and energy consumption compared to other leading brands.

Creating a more sustainable home is not only beneficial for the planet but also for our well-being. When it sometimes feels the message about protecting our planet is relentless, the products from If You Care can help us make a tangible difference and feel like we are contributing. We say let’s embrace the opportunity to transform our kitchens into more eco-friendly spaces and inspire others to make some simple product swaps that will make a difference!
